What is Pavlov?

We've all made decks of flashcards and slogged through them to study
(oftentimes boring) material. Wouldn't it be great if the flashcards
magically shuffled themselves to optimize your study time? Wouldn't
it be great if they sung to you and danced and entertained you while
you studied?

This is Pavlov - efficient, entertaining study.

Pavlov uses easy-to-write "pluglets" for feedback mechanisms
(entertainment) and question choice strategies (efficiency).
Just pop a new pluglet in the right directory to expand your
Pavlov universe.

165,000 Language Questions Now Available

The Pavlov Project, with help from
The JDict project
and the European software company
Majstro Aplikajoj are pleased
to provide a set of huge language learning question books. These
books are "bidirectional," so that, for example, the "English/French"
book could be used by an English speaker to learn French or a
French speaker to learn English. The files can be downloaded at
the Pavlov Project Page.
